Pet Sitting in Forbes Magazine

by Ryan on May 8, 2013

in Pet Sitting

It’s always nice to have pet sitting get the attention of a highly respected magazine.  There was an interesting article on pet sitting recently posted on Forbes website.  It starts out with an interesting fact about how much people will spend on pet products and services  each year: $55 billion.  There are some general ideas on different occupations you could try if you like working with pets.  Aside from pet sitting, you could also offer services as a dog trainer or animal masseuse.  Some pet sitters may offer those services already, although an animal masseuse can require a good deal of training.  One problem with the information is that it says there are not any special skills required for cat sitting or dog walking.  While this may be technically true, it is highly recommended to have training in pet first aid.

You can read the article at Forbes.  You can also read about animal massages here.

Comfort Dogs for Boston

by Ryan on April 29, 2013

in Dogs

It’s been 2 weeks since the attacks in Boston, and all of the facts are still being gathered.  One aspect that PetsitUSA is especially interested in is the comfort dogs that visited Boston.  The simple acts of having a dog present or hugging dogs can help victims feel better.  The Lutheran Church Charity K-9 Comfort Dogs were available to help during the week after the attacks.  Comfort dogs can be sent across the country.  They were also in Texas after the recent fire.  Some great pictures can be seen in the following articles about comfort dogs:

Tragedy in Boston

by Ryan on April 16, 2013

in Random Thoughts

I was horrified to see what happened in Boston.  I’ve lived in and around Boston for the last 11 years and it’s one of the best cities in the country.  If there is anything PetsitUSA can do to help, don’t hesitate to ask.

My thoughts are with everyone in Boston.

Vibrac has issued a voluntary recall of 6 Lots of Iverhart Plus Flavored Chewables.  This is a different recall than other recent pet food recalls, because this isn’t related to a risk of salmonella.  The purpose of this recall is “due to a failure to meet stability specifications during the life of the product.”  The lots recalled are below.

You can see the PetMD report here.

  • Lot 120076 (Large 51-100 pounds)
  • Lot 120086 (Large 51-100 pounds)
  • Lot 120856 (Large 51-100 pounds)
  • Lot 120202 (Medium 26-50 pounds)
  • Lot 120196 (Small up to 25 pounds)
  • Lot 120844 (Small up to 25 pounds)
